Have You Guys Been So Afraid To Eat...

I've been ill for the last couple of days (damn you cashews, I trusted you) and now I think I'm recovering. My stomach is grumbling of hunger and stuff, and the last time I ate was 4 hours ago (three bites of apple, a thin tapioca), but I don't want to eat because I'm afraid I will get ill again.

I see many people having so much worst than me, and I wonder how you put stuff down your throat because I just can't, I feel so so afraid I'd rather be hungry.

How do you guys do eeet?

Not sure what you mean....and I want to help, :) but why are we blaming the cashews?

You need to eat.

Eat things you know must be safe like the apple. But eat.

Just try to eat plain foods. That works for me- chicken, rice. I add things in as I feel better. Still can't eat dairy.

What helps me recover is home made chicken or beef broth - its easy on my digestive tract since there's not much to absorb and you're still getting some nutrients. You can make a big pot of it, freeze it in several small containers, and use it when necessary. Its been a lifesaver for me when I'm sick and I don't feel like eating anything. Point being, we all need to eat regardless of how ill we feel - its more important for us to make sure we are getting nutrients than most other people. Hope you feel better soon...

I can't tolerate cashews. I believe they are in the same family is peanuts if that provides you any clues. Well, I taste taste and anaylyze all the time. It seems to be getting me somewhere. So Onward with us.

Not exactly.

Peanuts are legumes.

Cashews are tree nuts.

If the OP is ALLERGIC to cashews, that is a whole different story.

Peanuts and cashew aren't the same family at all. If you have some scientific or medical evience of that or that they have gluten, please share it.

1.5 years later, I'm still afraid to eat. I do try, but i fall back into my "is it gonna make me sick? Am i allergic to it?" rutine.

Doesn't help that i'm getting over a bad case of stomach flu (going around at my uni, and of course i just had to catch it). So i'm on the iffy side of things for the rest of the week.

I'm big on self preservation so I eat. I learned a long time ago it's better for me to eat - my list of "waited too long to eat" problems is longer than the "no eating" list.

I'm going to assume you ate cashews that you are guessing were cc'd with wheat? Cashews, for me, are a hard nut (hah!) to find not processed in a wheat sharing facility.

Well, cashews are plenty where I live because they are native and there are huge plantations of them around the corner (60Km away, I could just go there and steal some :ph34r: ) but insofar, I only ate cashews from facilities especialized in doing whatever they do with cashews so they are good to eat.

This package came from a guy on the street. They are usually safe and even better than the cashews I buy at the supermarket. But I don't know what their facilities are like, so... It is a possibility, and since I am healing steadily ever since I stopped eating cashews, I suppose they indeed were CC'd.

I'm picking myself up and trying to stuff some food down. Apples, bananas, scrambled eggs (since the pan I use to make them is only used to make them by all family, no CC risk) and juice are all I'm daring to eat right now, but at least I want to eat. I go down to only juice when I don't want to, so there's an improvement.

I need to stop being so anxious...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By trents · Posted

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By jenniber · Posted

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      Am I nuts?

      By GlorietaKaro · Posted

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—
